You are invited to a Happy Hour with County Commissioner Peter Lawson Jones on Thursday July 31st, 2008 at the Bier Markt and Bar Cento from 5:00pm until 7:30pm.

This is an opportunity for Cleveland’s young professionals to meet Commissioner Jones in the relaxed environment of the Bier Markt, share what is on your mind with him, and also network with other young professionals that are plugged into Cleveland’s future.

“Peter Lawson Jones is a Renaissance man who continually reinvents himself to achieve the most out of life while serving others.

In 2002, Jones became a member of the Cuyahoga County Board of County Commissioners in Cleveland and is the only African-American county commissioner in Ohio. He previously served in the Ohio House of Representatives, where he was the ranking member of the House Finance and Appropriations Committee, and as vice mayor and city councilman in Shaker Heights, Ohio.

Jones returned to local government to garner greater influence by representing Ohio’s largest county. His political base went from 130,000 to more than 1.3 million people, says Jones, who may one day run for governor of Ohio.

A native of Cleveland, Jones excelled in high school, which enabled him to attend and graduate from Harvard College and Harvard Law School.”

A twist of green
With a twist of green, an environmentally-friendly restaurant opens on East Fourth in downtown Cleveland.

By JOHN BOOTH
4:30 am, July 14, 2008

While Jonathon Sawyer’s plans call for The Greenhouse Tavern to have an actual greenhouse on its East Fourth Street roof in downtown Cleveland, the chef and owner is aiming for an environmentally friendly approach to restaurateuring that will go well beyond its most visible symbol.

By building with conservation and sustainability in mind, from plumbing to appliances and even the restaurant’s menu, Mr. Sawyer said he hopes to open the region’s first eatery with a seal of approval from the Boston-based Green Restaurant Association.

“It’s important to us to bring it (the seal) to Ohio both because we think we could be ahead of the curve nationally, and it’s ultimately just doing the right thing,” said Mr. Sawyer, a chef/partner in Bier Markt and Bar Cento on West 25th Street in Ohio City. He expects The Greenhouse Tavern to open the doors on its 25- by 100-foot Corts Building space by the end of the year.
